(c) ASSISTANCE TO INSURED DEPOSITORY INSTITUTIONS.--

(1) The Corporation is authorized, in its sole discretion and
upon such terms and conditions as the Board of Directors may prescribe,
to make loans to, to make deposits in, to purchase the assets or
securities of, to assume the liabilities of, or to make contributions
to, any insured depository institution--

(A) if such action is taken to prevent the default of such
insured depository institution;

(B) if, with respect to an insured
bank*
in default, such action is taken to restore such insured bank to normal
operation; or

(C) if, when severe financial conditions exist which threaten the
stability of a significant number of insured depository institutions or
of insured depository institutions possessing significant financial
resources, such action is taken in order to lessen the risk to the
Corporation posed by such insured depository institution under such
threat of instability.

(2)(A) In order to facilitate a merger or consolidation of
another insured depository institution described in subparagraph (B)
with another insured depository institution or the sale of any or all
of the assets of such insured depository institution or the assumption
of any or all of such insured depository institution's liabilities by
another insured depository institution, or the acquisition of the stock
of such insured depository institution, the Corporation is authorized,
in its sole discretion and upon such terms and conditions as the Board
of Directors may prescribe--

(i) to purchase any such assets or assume any such liabilities;

(ii) to make loans or contributions to, or deposits in, or
purchase the securities of, such other insured depository institution
or the company which controls or will acquire control of such other
insured depository institution;

(iii) to guarantee such other insured depository institution or
the company which controls or will acquire control of such other

institution's merging or consolidating with or assuming the liabilities
and purchasing the assets of such insured depository institution or by
reason of such company acquiring control of such insured depository
institution; or

(iv) to take any combination of the actions referred to in
subparagraphs (i) through (iii).

institution must be an insured depository institution--

danger of default; or

threaten the stability of a significant number of insured depository
institutions or of insured depository institutions possessing
significant financial resources, is determined by the Corporation, in
its sole discretion, to require assistance under subparagraph (A) in
order to lessen the risk to the Corporation posed by such insured
depository institution under such threat of instability.

(C) Any action to which the Corporation is or becomes a party by
acquiring any asset or exercising any other authority set forth in this
section shall be stayed for a period of 60 days at the request of the
Corporation.

(3) The Corporation may provide any person acquiring control of,
merging with, consolidating with or acquiring the assets of an insured
depository institution under subsection (f) or (k) of this section with
such financial assistance as it could provide an insured institution
under this subsection.

(A) IN GENERAL.--Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Act, the Corporation may not exercise any authority under this
subsection or subsection (d), (f), (h), (i), or (k) with respect to any
insured depository institution unless--

(i) the Corporation determines that the exercise of such
authority is necessary to meet the obligation of the Corporation to
provide insurance coverage for the insured deposits in such
institution; and

(ii) the total amount of the expenditures by the Corporation and
obligations incurred by the Corporation (including any immediate and
long-term obligation of the Corporation and any direct or contingent
liability for future payment by the Corporation) in connection with the
exercise of any such authority with respect to such institution is the
least costly to the Deposit Insurance Fund of all possible methods for
meeting the Corporation's obligation under this section.

(B) DETERMINING LEAST COSTLY APPROACH.--In determining
how to satisfy the Corporation's obligations to an institution's
insured depositors at the least possible cost to the Deposit Insurance
Fund, the Corporation shall comply with the following provisions:

realistic discount rate;

evaluation is based, including any assumptions with regard to interest
rates, asset recovery rates, asset holding costs, and payment of
contingent liabilities; and

(III) retain the documentation for not less than 5 years.

(ii) FOREGONE TAX REVENUES.--Federal tax revenues that
the Government would forego as the result of a proposed transaction, to
the extent reasonably ascertainable, shall be treated as if they were
revenues foregone by the deposit insurance fund.

(C) TIME OF DETERMINATION.--

(i) GENERAL RULE.--For purposes of this subsection, the
determination of the costs of providing any assistance under paragraph
(1) or (2) or any other provision of this section with respect to any
depository institution shall be made as of the date on which the
Corporation makes the determination to provide such assistance to the
institution under this section.

subsection, the determination of the costs of liquidation of any
depository institution shall be made as of the earliest of--

institution; or

(III) the date on which the Corporation makes any determination
to provide any assistance under this section with respect to such
institution.

(D) LIQUIDATION COSTS.--In determining the cost of
liquidating any depository institution for the purpose of comparing the
costs under subparagraph (A) (with respect to such institution), the
amount of such cost may not exceed the amount which is equal to the sum
of the insured deposits of such institution as of the earliest of the
dates described in subparagraph (C), minus the present value of the
total net amount the Corporation reasonably expects to receive from the
disposition of the assets of such institution in connection with such
liquidation.

(E) DEPOSIT INSURANCE FUND AVAILABLE FOR INTENDED PURPOSE
ONLY.--

(i) IN GENERAL.--After December 31, 1994, or at such
earlier time as the Corporation determines to be appropriate, the
Corporation may not take any action, directly or indirectly, with
respect to any insured depository institution that would have the
effect of increasing losses to the Deposit Insurance Fund by
protecting--

(I) depositors for more than the insured portion of deposits
(determined without regard to whether such institution is liquidated);
or

(II) creditors other than depositors.

(ii) DEADLINE FOR REGULATIONS.--The Corporation shall
prescribe regulations to implement clause (i) not later than January 1,
1994, and the regulations shall take effect not later than January 1,
1995.

(iii) PURCHASE AND ASSUMPTION TRANSACTIONS.--No
provision of this subparagraph shall be construed as prohibiting the
Corporation from allowing any person who acquires any assets or assumes
any liabilities of any insured depository institution for which the
Corporation has been appointed conservator or receiver to acquire
uninsured deposit liabilities of such institution so long as the
insurance fund does not incur any loss with respect to such deposit
liabilities in an amount greater than the loss which would have been
incurred with respect to such liabilities if the institution had been
liquidated.

(F) DISCRETIONARY DETERMINATIONS.--Any determination
which the Corporation may make under this paragraph shall be made in
the sole discretion of the Corporation.

(G) SYSTEMIC RISK.--

(i) EMERGENCY DETERMINATION BY SECRETARY OF THE
TREASURY.--Notwithstanding subparagraphs (A) and (E), if, upon
the written recommendation of the Board of Directors (upon a vote of
not less than two-thirds of the members of the Board of Directors) and
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (upon a vote of
not less than two-thirds of the members of such Board), the Secretary
of the Treasury (in consultation with the President) determines
that--

(I) the Corporation's compliance with subparagraphs (A) and (E)
with respect to an insured depository institution for which the
Corporation has been appointed receiver would have serious adverse
effects on economic conditions or financial stability; and

(II) any action or assistance under this subparagraph would avoid
or mitigate such adverse effects,

the Corporation may take other action or provide assistance under
this section for the purpose of winding up the insured depository
institution for which the Corporation has been appointed receiver as
necessary to avoid or mitigate such effects.

(ii) REPAYMENT OF LOSS.--

(I) IN GENERAL.--The Corporation shall recover the loss
to the Deposit Insurance Fund arising from any action taken or
assistance provided with respect to an insured depository institution
under clause (i) from 1 or more special assessments on insured
depository institutions, depository institution holding companies (with
the concurrence of the Secretary of the Treasury with respect to
holding companies), or both, as the Corporation determines to be
appropriate.

(II) TREATMENT OF DEPOSITORY INSTITUTION HOLDING
COMPANIES.--For purposes of this clause, sections 7(c)(2) and 18(h)
shall apply to depository institution holding companies as if they were
insured depository institutions.

(III) REGULATIONS.--The Corporation shall prescribe such
regulations as it deems necessary to implement this clause. In
prescribing such regulations, defining terms, and setting the
appropriate assessment rate or rates, the Corporation shall establish
rates sufficient to cover the losses incurred as a result of the
actions of the Corporation under clause (i) and shall consider: the
types of entities that benefit from any action taken or assistance
provided under this subparagraph; economic conditions, the effects on
the industry, and such other factors as the Corporation deems
appropriate and relevant to the action taken or the assistance
provided. Any funds so collected that exceed actual losses shall be
placed in the Deposit Insurance Fund.

Treasury shall--

(I) document any determination under clause (i); and

determination under clause (i), the Secretary of the Treasury shall
provide written notice of any determination under clause (i) to the
Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs of the Senate and the
Committee on Banking, Finance and Urban Affairs of the House of
Representatives.

(II) DESCRIPTION OF BASIS OF DETERMINATION.--The notice
under subclause (I) shall include a description of the basis for any
determination under clause (i).

(H) RULE OF CONSTRUCTION.--No provision of law shall be
construed as permitting the Corporation to take any action prohibited
by paragraph (4) unless such provision expressly provides, by direct
reference to this paragraph, that this paragraph shall not apply with
respect to such action.

(5) The Corporation may not use its authority under this
subsection to purchase the voting or common stock of an insured
depository institution. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall be
construed to limit the ability of the Corporation to enter into and
enforce covenants and agreements that it determines to be necessary to
protect its financial interest.

(6)(A) During any period in which an insured depository
institution has received assistance under this subsection and such
assistance is still outstanding, such insured depository institution
may defer the payment of any State or local tax which is determined on
the basis of the deposits held by such insured depository institution
or of the interest or dividends paid on such deposits.

(B) When such insured depository institution no longer has any
outstanding assistance, such insured depository institution shall pay
all taxes which were deferred under subparagraph (A). Such payments
shall be made in accordance with a payment plan established by the
Corporation, after consultation with the applicable State and local
taxing authorities.

(7) The transfer of any assets or liabilities associated with any
trust business of an insured depository institution in default under
subparagraph (2)(A) shall be effective without any State or Federal
approval, assignment, or consent with respect thereto.

financial assistance under this section for depository institutions
before the appointment of a conservator or receiver for such
institution only under the following circumstances.--

institution's capital levels are increased; and

(II) it is unlikely that the institution can meet all currently
applicable capital standards without assistance.

(ii) OTHER CRITERIA.--The depository institution meets
the following criteria:

(I) The appropriate Federal banking agency and the Corporation

orders.

(II) The institution's management did not engage in any insider
dealing, speculative practice, or other abusive activity.

be subject to the conditions upon which a national bank may establish
and operate branches in the State in which such insured institution is
located.

(C) No insured institution acquired under this subsection shall
after it is acquired move its principal office or any branch office
which it would be prohibited from moving if the institution were a
national bank.

(i) IN GENERAL.--Any out-of-State bank holding company
which acquires control of an insured bank in any State under paragraph
(2) or (3) may acquire any other insured bank and establish branches in
such State to the same extent as a bank holding company
whose insured bank subsidiaries' operations
are principally conducted in such State may acquire any other insured
bank or establish branches.

(ii) DELAYED DATE OF APPLICABILITY.--Clause (i) shall
not apply with respect to any out-of-State bank holding company
referred to in such clause before the earlier of--

(I) the end of the 2-year period beginning on the date the
acquisition referred to in such clause with respect to such company is
consummated; or

(II) the end of any period established under State law during
which such out-of-State bank holding company may not be treated as a
bank holding company whose insured bank subsidiaries' operations are
principally conducted in such State for purposes of acquiring other
insured banks or establishing bank branches.

(iii) DETERMINATION OF PRINCIPALLY CONDUCTED.--For
purposes of this subparagraph, the State in which the operations of a
holding company's insured bank subsidiaries are principally conducted
is the State determined under section
3(d) of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 with respect to
such holding company.

(E) CERTAIN STATE INTERSTATE BANKING LAWS
INAPPLICABLE.--Any holding company which acquires control of any
insured bank or holding company under paragraph (2) or (3) or
subparagraph (D) of this paragraph shall not, by reason of such
acquisition, be required under the law of any State to divest any other
insured bank or be prevented from acquiring any other bank or holding
company.

(5) In determining whether to arrange a sale of assets and
assumption of liabilities or an acquisition or a merger under the
authority of paragraph (2) or (3), the Corporation may solicit such
offers or proposals as are practicable from any prospective purchasers
or merger partners it determines, in its sole discretion, are both
qualified and capable of acquiring the assets and liabilities of the
bank in default or the bank in danger of default.

(6)(A) If, after receiving offers, the offer presenting the
lowest expense to the Corporation, that is in a form and with
conditions acceptable to the Corporation (hereinafter referred to as
the "lowest acceptable offer"), is from an offeror that is not an
existing in-State bank of the same type as the bank that is in default
or is in danger of default (or, where the bank is an insured bank other
than a mutual savings bank, the lowest acceptable offer is not from an
in-State holding company), the Corporation shall permit the offeror
which made the initial lowest acceptable offer and each offeror who
made an offer the estimated cost of which to the Corporation was within
15 per centum or $15,000,000, whichever is less, of the initial lowest
acceptable offer to submit a new offer.

(B) In considering authorizations under this subsection, the
Corporation shall give consideration to the need to minimize the cost
of financial assistance and to the maintenance of specialized
depository institutions. The Corporation shall authorize transactions
under this subsection considering the following priorities:

(i) First, between depository institutions of the same type
within the same State.

(ii) Second, between depository institutions of the same type--

(I) in different States which by statute specifically authorize
such acquisitions; or

(II) in the absence of such statutes, in different States which
are contiguous.

(iii) Third, between depository institutions of the same type in
different States other than the States described in clause (ii).

(iv) Fourth, between depository institutions of different types
in the same State.

(v) Fifth, between depository institutions of different types--

(I) in different States which by statute specifically authorize
such acquisitions; or

(II) in the absence of such statutes, in different States which
are contiguous.

(vi) Sixth, between depository institutions of different types in
different States other than the States described in clause (v).

(C) MINORITY BANK PRIORITY.--In the case of a
minority-controlled bank, the Corporation shall seek an offer from
other minority-controlled banks before proceeding with the bidding
priorities set forth in subparagraph (B).

(D) In determining the cost of offers and reoffers, the
Corporation's calculations and estimations shall be determinative. The
Corporation may set reasonable time limits on offers and reoffers.

(7) No sale may be made under the provisions of paragraph (2) or
(3)--

(A) which would result in a monopoly, or which would be in
furtherance of any combination or conspiracy to monopolize or to
attempt to monopolize the business of banking in any part of the United
States;

(B) whose effect in any section of the country may be
substantially to lessen competition, or to tend to create a monopoly,
or which in any other manner would be in restraint of trade, unless the
Corporation finds that the anticompetitive effects of the proposed
transactions are clearly outweighed in the public interest by the
probable effect of the transaction in meeting the convenience and needs
of the community to be served; or

(C) if in the opinion of the Corporation the acquisition
threatens the safety and soundness of the acquirer or does not result
in the future viability of the resulting depository institution.

(8) As used in this subsection--

(A) the term "in-State depository institution or in-State
holding company" means an existing insured depository institution
currently operating in the State in which the bank in default or the
bank in danger of default is chartered or a company that is operating
an insured depository institution subsidiary in the State in which the
bank in default or the bank in danger of default is chartered;

(B) the term "acquire" means to acquire, directly or
indirectly, ownership or control through--

(i) an acquisition of shares;

(ii) an acquisition of assets or assumption of liabilities;

(iii) a merger or consolidation; or

and

(ii) when used in connection with a reference to 2 or more

company; and

(9) NO ASSISTANCE AUTHORIZED FOR CERTAIN SUBSIDIARIES OF
HOLDING COMPANIES.--

assistance to a subsidiary, other than a subsidiary that is an insured
depository institution of a holding company in connection with any
acquisition under this subsection.

paragraph does not prohibit an intermediate holding company or an
affiliate of an insured depository institution from being a conduit for
assistance ultimately intended for an insured bank.

(10) ANNUAL REPORT.--

(A) REQUIRED.--In its annual report to Congress the
Corporation shall include a report on the acquisitions under this
subsection during the preceding year.

COMPANY WITHOUT REGARD TO ASSET SIZE.--

minority control of a minority-controlled bank, paragraphs (2) and (3)

Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989, the member
was solvent under applicable regulatory accounting principles but had

substantially attributable to its participation in acquisition and
merger transactions that were instituted by the Federal Home Loan Bank
Board or the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation for
supervisory reasons.

(III) The member is a qualified thrift lender (as defined in
section 10(m) of the Home
Owners' Loan Act) or would be a qualified thrift lender if commercial
real estate owned and nonperforming commercial loans acquired in
acquisition and merger transactions that were instituted by the Federal
Home Loan Bank Board or the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance
Corporation for supervisory reasons were excluded from the member's
total assets.

(IV) The appropriate Federal banking agency has determined that
the member's management is competent and has complied with applicable
laws, rules, and supervisory directives and orders.
